Throughout Goddard House’s 175 years, our greatest strength, in tandem with our core values, has been our ability to constantly adapt to meet the ever-changing needs and expectations of the older adults we serve. It is in this spirit that we are now embarking on a $16 million dollar renovation of our 28-year-old assisted living community that aspires to be as unique and forward-thinking as the residents and communities that we serve.

Goddard House is getting a new look! We are making some exciting changes throughout our building, updating our beautiful common spaces for residents to socialize and connect. We have incorporated special elements of the history and nature of our surrounding community in these upgrades for a vibrant and home-like feel.

Updates include:

  • New flooring and paint on all floors in our traditional Assisted Living neighborhood
  • Updated upholstery fabrics and accessories throughout Assisted Living common spaces
  • New Creative Aging Center: This new community gathering space will provide a welcoming, multi-use venue for creative aging and life-long learning, as well as community events. The Center will seat up to 70 people and bring residents and community members together to experience and enjoy art, music, theater, film, lectures and other stimulating programming.
  • A new outdoor deck next to the new Creative Aging Center, an extended wrap-around porch, and a dedicated art room overlooking the outdoor terrace gives Goddard House residents a deeper connection to the natural beauty of the outdoors.
  • Elevated Workplace Experience: Beautiful and functional spaces for our associates demonstrate our commitment to employee well-being and reducing stress levels. An enlarged staff break room, as well as new facilities and a dedicated outdoor terrace, will promote comfort and relaxation for our hardworking associates.
